Chapter 6: Complaints

“Ugh.”

She hugged my body.

It was a princess-carry, which noble girls would like.

“Y, you.”

How dare she hug my body like this.

I grabbed the bedsheet to resist, but my forearms were tingling, so I let go of it soon.

Such a weak body was so humiliating.

‘This···’

I wanted to use force on the girl right away, but for now, I decided to persuade her well with words.

“Who are you to hug the body of a person you’ve never seen before?”

“I’ve seen you before? I’m Eve’s mom?”

“I see.”

Is she feeling maternal love as the creator?

It was natural for the creator to feel love for their creation.

‘There’s no malice.’

However, it was true that I felt bad.

How should I persuade her well?

As I was thinking about that, the girl suddenly started stroking my head.

“Pretty, pretty.”

Scratch-scratch-

The touch on my head was unpleasant, but it wasn’t as shocking as being held.

Stroking the head was the common sense of this world between friends.

‘I’ll let this go though.’

I can’t forgive her for hugging my body as she pleased.

I glared at the girl with a scowling face.

“Do you know what kind of person is inside, that you’re treating me so friendly?”

“Inside?”

“Yes, inside the homunculus.”

The girl stopped in her tracks.

She seemed to be thinking about something, then tilted her head.

“A person? Eve is a dog.”

“What···?”

My mind goes blank.

Is she a bit lacking?

I stared blankly at the girl’s face in an incomprehensible situation.

“There’s a problem with using people as test subjects, that’s why I used Eve. Ah, does Eve not know?”

“Eve···?”

Is it possible that Eve, my middle name, was taken from a dog?

My whole body trembled at the shocking truth.

‘A dog’s name!’

Although the anger surged, I forcibly held it in.

Because Philiana was the final decision-maker of the homunculus.

In the end, even the name had to be approved by Philiana.

‘Now, it is the top priority to ask about the girl’s sin.’

I looked at the girl with my lower lip tightly clenched.

At that moment when I was about to mention the sin she had committed, the girl suddenly lifted my body and matched my eyes.

“Eve. Do you remember who your sister is?”

“You seem to be misunderstanding, but···”

I am not a beast.

The moment I was about to say that, I heard a dog barking from somewhere.

“Woof woof!”

It was the cute sound of a puppy that hadn’t become an adult yet.

The girl’s ears perked up at that sound.

“Huh? This is Eve’s voice, isn’t it?”

The girl looked down at me with surprised eyes.

At the same time, the sound of the dog barking again.

“Eve is here···?”

The girl was moving towards the window while holding my body.

It was a bit awkward to be carried like that, but I decided to stay still to tell her the truth.

‘That guy is Eve.’

If you look outside from this third-floor bedroom, the dog running around the yard comes into view.

It was a small dog with very cute golden fur.

“Ugh!”

The girl’s body trembled, and she looked down at me with a frightened expression.

What she had been thinking in that short amount of time, she suddenly threw my body away.

Thud!

“Nghyak!”

My lower body was aching.

Because it was the first time I had ever felt the sensation called pain, I didn’t know what to do and just made a strange moan.

“U, ugh···”

In the distant past, I rolled on the floor in the same way as those who had been defeated by me.

I wanted to get up right away and grab the girl by the scruff of her neck, but I couldn’t move my body because of the pain.

Yes.

At this point, it can be called an emergency.

Now it was my turn to show an example to the girl.

Uwooong-!

The moment I was about to gather strength to subdue the girl, the girl appeared in front of me with a worried expression.

She was lying on the floor to face me.

‘She kneeled down.’

It wouldn’t be in the sense of submission, but the meaning was great.

She was truly repenting.

This much was enough to forgive.

I let out a sigh and took the strength away.

“I’m sorry. Did it hurt a lot?”

“Not at all, it didn’t hurt at all.”

It was only because it was a sensation I was feeling for the first time, so it took me a while to adapt.

I was confident that I wouldn’t feel anything if I experienced the same pain twice.

“I’m really sorry.”

“It’s okay. Don’t worry about what happened.”

Ahem

As I was clearing my throat and brushing off my clothes, she fidgeted her fingers in a dispirited manner.

“I, but, who are you···?”

Is she curious about my identity now?

I could tell her if she was Philiana’s trusted assistant, but I decided to hide it for now.

“It’s a secret.”

“A, a secret?”

“Yes, it’s a punishment for the rudeness you committed against me. You’ll be curious about it.”

“Yes···”

The girl’s shoulders drooped.

This much would be a sufficient punishment.

“I’m going to Philiana. Are you coming with me?”

“Ah, I’ll go see Eve for a moment and then I’ll visit you.”

“Do it.”

I nodded and opened the bedroom door.

Now I was going to get angry with Philiana.

Philiana’s room.

In the center, Philiana was looking around the thousands of children’s clothes that filled the room.

‘What should I do.’

Two days had passed since the Tyrant had become a girl.

But he was still wearing the same clothes.

Of course, she had used cleaning magic so that it wasn’t dirty, but he couldn’t wear the same clothes forever.

Clothes were one of the parts that prove a person’s value.

‘He doesn’t seem to be interested in clothes.’

The white blouse that she had put on because she couldn’t leave the homunculus naked.

She didn’t put on pants or underwear to make the production easier.

The blouse was big, so there was no sight of the lower body, but she wanted to stop the sight of a child of about ten years old walking around the mansion wearing only one top.

The servants who had been evacuated would return to the mansion soon.

‘I have to put on clothes, but I don’t know how.’

Even though the Tyrant was more kind than she had imagined, he wouldn’t wear the children’s clothes of this era.

The clothing worn by the noble girls was far from coolness and charisma, so it was clear that it would cause the Tyrant’s resistance.

‘Should I have them custom-made?’

It would be good to ask the Tyrant directly for the clothes he wanted.

After finishing her thoughts, Philiana looked at the door of her room.

It was to welcome the Tyrant who was coming at the moment.

“Philiana!”

Tong-Tong-Tong!

She pounded the thick door with her small and frail body.

The moment she was worried that her hands would hurt if she pounded like that, a cute groan of ‘Heuk’ came from behind the door.

Would it hurt a lot?

She laughed when she thought about the image of her shedding tears because of the pain.

Of course, if it was that Tyrant, he wouldn’t shed tears.

Philiana, giggling in her heart, welcomed the Tyrant.

“Come in.”

“Excuse me.”

When the door opened, a girl appeared, rubbing her right hand.

Philiana found that her hands were red, but she decided to pretend not to know.

“What’s the matter, early in the morning?”

“I came to complain to you.”

“Complaint?”

What had displeased the young Tyrant again?

Philiana looked at the girl with a bewildered heart.

“My middle name is the name of a dog.”

“Yes, and?”

Philiana, asking what the problem was.

The Tyrant was rather embarrassed at that sight.

“And? How can you give a beast’s name to a person?”

“···Does it matter that it’s a middle name?”

The nobles of the empire used nicknames or memorable things as their middle names.

And because Eve was supposed to be Luna’s body in the first place, it was enough for a memorable name.

“···Do you give the names of beasts to middle names these days?”

“These days? Didn’t you use the names of beasts or monsters even in the past? Like Wolf, or Drake···”

“Those are strong guys.”

Philiana realized from the Tyrant’s grumbling that the reason why he was dissatisfied was because of the name of the ‘weak beast’.

“Don’t worry. Even though she looks like that, Eve is very strong.”

“Strong?”

“Yes. She can easily beat the earth dragon.”

“Th, that, really···?”

The earth dragon was a dragon without wings.

No matter how much it was a dragon without wings, the title of dragon slayer was never light.

The expression of the Tyrant, who thought of that fact, gradually softened.

“I, I’m sorry. I judged you as weak just by looking at your young appearance. Dragons are weak when they are young, so···”

“Yes?”

Did he think Eve was a young creature?

Philiana’s eyes widened.

Even though Eve was small and cute, she was a proper adult dog.

Like the current Tyrant.

“How much will that guy grow? Does she become ten meters?”

“W, well? It’s different depending on the individual···”

She will be about twenty to thirty centimeters when she becomes an adult.

However, Philiana didn’t say the truth.

It seemed that the small Tyrant liked big and strong beings.

“Surely, she will be a dignified and wonderful adult dog, just like this body.”

“···Really?”

She did resemble.

The current cute and lovely appearance of the Tyrant.

If she put Eve in the Tyrant’s arms, the women who were crazy about cute things would scream.

Philiana, knowing that she was one of those women, just decided to satisfy her own desires.

“Can I ask you to educate Eve, Luna?”

“Education··· Well, what. Anyway, I had nothing to do during my break.”

“Nice.”

“What?”

“Ah, I didn’t say anything.”

Ahem.

Philiana cleared her throat.

The combination of a girl and a dog.

She was already looking forward to it.
